[MacDV] 3CCD MiniDV with pass through- recommendations?

[Tiik at aol.com]

Hi,

Thank you all for being so helpful these past few days.

Now I have another question I would value your experience with.

Because my Hi8 camcorder is so outdated, it seems I need a miniDV camcorder 
anyway,   
and may as well use that for pass through.
I bought a Panasonic mindv gs500 today only to get it home and find it DOES 
NOT have pass through.
I researched this and was led to believe it DOES have pass through.
I am taking it back to the store tomorrow.

Now I am not trusting my research...or store salesmen...but here I am 
researching with you. LOL!!!
So far you have not led me wrong...though opinions differ, facts tend not to.

Do you have a recommendation(s)?

I want a 3CCD MiniDV camcorder with fire wire and with pass through for 
analog to DV.
I'm hoping to stay under $700.

Thank you all for taking the time with this.
I am sooo frustrated with all the missteps in trying to get this documentay 
completed 
for it's March 19th deadline.

Tiik
